i had a great time, these guys are great...and nothing was broken. (believe me we tried!!)

however - on the way home about halfway down the 15 - my right front tire went dead...(tore a 3" hole on the inner sidewall) - reason #1 why you should ALWAYS stay on the trail in the desert - IT SAVES YOUR TIRES!!

AND - to make matters worse - the factory bottle jack is JUNK...fully extended i STILL had to let ALL the air outta the spare in order to get it on (thank god i had a small compressor!!)...plus it was 95 degrees and the job took 90 minutes - NICE HUH?

i USUALLY bring my floor jack - and that morning i figured "whats the big deal - we're only going out to play for the afternoon - what could go wrong?" famous last words!

but despite the tire trauma - i cant wait to do it again!!

hopefully next time we can get a few more trucks - and maybe we'll even make it a 2 day event!!!
